Ingredients
Scale
Sauce
- ⅓ cup low-sodium soy sauce (or coconut aminos for gluten-free)
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons fresh grated ginger
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
Main
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- 1 pound lean ground turkey (93% lean)
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 10 ounces fresh Brussels sprouts, shredded (pre-shredded works well)
Garnish (optional)
- Chopped green onions
- Sesame seeds
Instructions
- Prepare the sauce: In a measuring cup, combine the soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, crushed red pepper flakes, and toasted sesame oil. Whisk together and set aside.
- Heat the skillet and brown turkey: Warm avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the ground turkey, season with salt, pepper, and onion powder. Cook, breaking it apart as it browns, until mostly cooked but still a little pink, about 4 to 5 minutes.
- Add Brussels sprouts: Stir the shredded Brussels sprouts into the skillet with the turkey. Continue cooking until the turkey is fully cooked and the Brussels sprouts have softened, about 5 to 6 more minutes.
- Add the sauce and simmer: Pour the soy sauce mixture over the turkey and Brussels sprouts. Reduce the heat to medium and let everything simmer together for 5 minutes so the flavors meld and the vegetables finish cooking.
- Serve: Divide the skillet mixture into 4 bowls. Serve over cooked rice if desired, and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
Notes
- Use pre-shredded Brussels sprouts for convenience, or shred your own using a food processor or knife.
- Make sure to pick out any tough larger stems from the shredded Brussels sprouts for a better texture.
- This recipe reheats well, making it great for meal prep and lunches.
- Adjust red pepper flakes to your preferred level of heat.
- Serve with steamed rice or cauliflower rice for a low-carb option.
